Write for us

We welcome thoughtful pitches from writers who can bring readers a clear, well-grounded perspective on rural places, customs, crafts, foodways or country homes.

What makes a good pitch

Tell us the central idea, why it suits Rural Lifestyle Guide and what a reader will understand or notice by the end. A strong proposal has a distinct angle, a clear scope and enough context to show that the subject can be handled carefully. We value precise details over sweeping claims about rural life.

Contributions we consider

We consider explanatory features, comparisons, cultural histories and focused seasonal pieces. Pitches should be original, written for general readers and clear about the basis for factual claims. Please flag any relevant interests or proposed partner involvement so the editorial context is understood.

Send a proposal

Use the Contact page to send your pitch and a short note about your approach. Please do not send a complete draft unless one has been requested. A proposal is not a promise of publication, and we may not be able to take every idea forward.
